Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time， the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep， each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep， your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly， and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level， your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down， from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs， your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed）。 This stage of sleep is called REM， which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep， some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep！46 A good title for this passage is _.A. Sleep C.

With a TV set in the family people dont have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre， the cinema，or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob，and they can see plays， films， operas and shows of every kind. Some people，however，think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises， no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television， it is often said， keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well； but on television everything is much more living， much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible， almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ，so dependent on its pictures， that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think， doesnt it？There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1？A. To arouse the readers concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC.

PAPER 1 READING（1 hour）Part 1You are going to read an article about a London tour guide.Four questions 1-8,choose the answer (A,B,C or D)which you think fits best according to the test.Mark your answers on the separate sheet.The best kind of know-it-allThere is an art to being a good tour guide and Martin Priestly knows what it is.Its obvious that the best way to explore a city is with a friend who is courteous,humorous,intelligent and this is essential extremely well-informed.Failing that,and if it is London you are visiting,then the next best thing may well be Martin Priestly,former university lecturer,now a guide,who seems to bring together most of the necessary virtues and will probably become a friend as well.Last spring,I took a trip around London with him,along with a party of Indian journalists.Accustomed to guides who are occasionally excellent but who often turn out to be arrogant,repetitive and sometimes bossy,I was so struck by Priestlys performance that I sought him out again to see,if Icould,just how the trick was done.This time the tour was for a party of foreign students,aged anything between 20 and 60,who were here to improve their English,which was already more than passable.As the tourists gathered.Martin welcomed them with a kind of dazzled pleasure,as if he had been waiting for them with excitement and a touch of anxiety,now thankfully relieved.I have to say,all this seemed absolutely genuine.Then we got on the coach and we were off.Martin sat in front,not in the low-level guides seat,but up with the group,constantly turning round to make eye contact,to see if they understood him.Soon were in aplace called Bloomsbury,famous among writers in the early 20th century. Bloomsbury is famous for brains,says Martin,getting into his stride. Its a very clever place.Its not very fashionable but its very clever.Soon after,we pass the Brithish Museum and Bedford Square, a great architectural showpiece,advices Martin.The comment prompted questions which led to a conversation about building,the part played by wealthy people and how big chunks of London still belonged to them an issue which was to re-emerge later.This was how he liked to work: themes,observation introduced as if spontaneously,were laid down for subsequent discussion.Suddenly the coach stopped and it was over,two and a half hours of non-stop performance,with information,observation and humour.Martin says encouragingly, I do hope you enjoy London.We go to a nearby cafe to talk.Why,I asked,had he become a guide? Well,I used to organise a lot of courses at the university I worked for.It was quite stressful.But I had shown students around London and I enjoyed that.It seemed an obvious move to make.Idid the London Tourist Boards Blue Badge course two evenings a week for two years.That was tough ,especially the exam in what is known as “coaching”.Youre taught to smile but everybody had difficulty with that in the exam,when you have other things to worry about.You have to do it backwards in the coach,desperately casting your eyes about to see what is coming next,and youre facing the tutors and the other trainees.And you have to know so much to guide well,different places,all kinds of architecture,agriculture.What if somebody asks a question about a crop beside the road?But some of it sticks,you knoweventually.He also tells me he keeps himself up to date with radio,TV and newspapers.There are several hundred other guides out there,all looking for a share of the work.I think,as we talk,that I am starting to understand why good guides are so rare.Its a great deal harder than it looks,and it demands,for every stretch of road,an even longer stretch of study and forethought.1 What do we learn about Martin in the first paragraph?A He has two educational roles.B He is a colleague of the writer.C His job is an extension of his
